Really good suggestion. And in case they still need encouragement, some negative press coverage might get them going. Right person for this -> https://krebsonse

I do not think that recommending Brian Krebs is a good idea for someone who might wish to avoid retaliation. Recently, he doxxed some people on Twitter for reporting bugs. https://www.itwire.com/security/infosec-researchers-slam-ex-wapo-man-krebs-over-doxxing.html https://www.itwire.com/security/infosec-researchers-slam-ex-... As a result, I no longer visit his site or recommend his work. Publishing someone else’s personal data without consent is a terrible thing, and is one of the reasons so many of us work to secure systems. His behavior undermines that.

  "Krebs appears to have form in outing people who do not agree with him. Back in 2014, he posted the CV of an individual who had written what he characterised as a bad review of a book he authored." When British security researcher Marcus Hutchins asked whether doxxing a person for this was going a bit too far, his response was: "Dox people? Hardly. I think it helps to add context. The guy is a convicted cybercrook who's in jail. Of course he hates me." Ouch. This is sad. I used to have a lot of respect for the guy.
